What you bring:
Polyglot - you are confident working on a range of languages and can quickly adapt to new ones. You like contributing to quickly changing platforms in addition to well established technology stacks.
Architecture - you choose the right tool for the job at hand, know when to drop in a NoSQL database and when to break something out into a new component and the best way to wire it in, when to go with the simplest fit into the current system and when to rethink the existing approach.
Agile - you'll help us inspect and adapt our processes - we're mostly an XP shop but we take the best bits of Lean, Scrum and Kanban too. You will contribute to the agile transformation of eBay leading by example, offering workshops and contributing to internal open source projects.

Wonderful, bright, air-conditioned offices in Shoreditch, with bike racks (and shower!), right next to Liverpool St and Shoreditch High Street stations for super easy commuting, and lots of great food options nearby.

What you'll do/learn:
Apply TDD/BDD and other engineering best practices on all the code you deliver.
Work on both a polyglot microservice stack and a highly scalable Java stack. You'll mainly be working in Java with some exposure to Ruby and Clojure.
Constantly improve quality: refactoring code, proposing new tools and changing processes.
Pair with team members and collaborate with remote teams to share knowledge and give/get constant feedback
Work across our entire stack and infrastructure, including internal and external APIs, enterprise distributed systems, services and tools
